Preparing to Fire (cont’)
A misre or unusual report (sound) upon ring is always a signal to cease r-
ing and immediately examine the chamber and bore. If there is any obstruc-
tion, full or partial, clear the obstruction with a cleaning rod and bore brush
before ring the gun.
1) Pull SLIDE to the rear – inspect chamber to be sure chamber is
empty.
2) Lock SLIDE open using SLIDE CATCH.
3) Insert MAGAZINE into magazine well in base of grip. Push MAGA-
ZINE upward until MAGAZINE CATCH engages.
4) Push SLIDE CATCH down, allowing the SLIDE to move forward
freely under its own power.
WARNING! THE PISTOL IS NOW LOADED AND READY TO FIRE.
5) Push THUMB LOCK up until it is positively engaged if pistol is not to
be red immediately. Push THUMB LOCK down when ready to re.
ALWAYS KEEP FINGERS OFF THE TRIGGER WHEN MOVING
THE THUMB LOCK UP (ENGAGED) OR DOWN (DISENGAGED).
LOCKING DEVICES
1) A GRIP LOCK is designed so the pistol has to be held rmly and the
GRIP LOCK depressed in order for the TRIGGER and TRIGGER
BAR to unlock.
2) A THUMB LOCK is located just above the GRIP LOCK at the left
side of the FRAME. When engaged, the THUMB LOCK blocks
movement of the SEAR and HAMMER. It must be lowered in order
to re the pistol.
